I am sure that when you read this, you might not understand why I’m so excited but this is the reason why:




I am sat here next to my little boy who has actually gone to sleep whilst not being held for the very first time in his 6 1/2 weeks.

Up until now, if you even tried to put him down to go to try and do anything at all, no matter how long you took… he would turn into screaming little monster child. Up until 2 weeks ago, to get any sleep at all at night, we would have to sleep with him on our chest or he would just stay awake and cry. Progress was then made to him falling asleep with his bottle, and tolerating being put into our bed next to us.

Today is the first time I have been able to put him down and lay next to him and get him to go to sleep whilst singing to him and stroking his tummy. Don’t get me wrong, it took a good 15 mins of pure screaming before he settled enough for him to even hear my singing (it’s not that bad….) but progress is progress.

So, I am now looking at buying my first baby monitor so I can leave the room when he’s sleeping and I do believe we will have cracked it!
